The U.S. Coast Guard has awarded Caterpillar a $5.7-million contract to repower 43 cutters with Cat 3412 marine engines and Twin Disc 518-M marine gears. Each 83- foot patrol boat uses two of the Cat engines, each rated at 750 hp. The contract also calls for one additional engine with gear to be used for instruction at the Coast Guard Training Center in Yorktwon, Va. The Cat engines are expected to almost double the life until overhaul of the units being replaced, accord- ing to a company spokesman. Cat Dealer Holt Company of Louisiana will be the subcontractor for pack- aging the marine enigne, marine transmission and associated con- trols and shipping the modules to Coast Guard distribution points. These cutters are steel-hulled with aluminum superstructures and are used for port security, search and rescue. The A Series was constr- cuted in 1960-61, the C Series in 1961-67, and the D Series in 1970. There are no discernible differ- ences among the various series of Point Class vessels.

An individual operator work- ing at the HP5000S may replace as many as 5 conven- tional workstations and 10 people. And our method is up to 10 times faster, too. HOW IT WORKS The component is held in test position by safe, reliable clamping arms working against 60 tons of force from an internal hydraulic ram. Then up to 5,000 psi of pressure is applied through the same port to test the component. Precision gauges register pressure in different ranges. 9,1 f- lev baRbee STANDARD OR CUSTOM DESIGN Barbee offers standard - models, or tailors its test % stands to your exact needs.
